Demographic behavior of the members of elite groups in the second half of the 19th century Abstract This presented diploma thesis is a probe into the lives of senior civil servants who worked in Bohemia in the second half of the 19th century. And it was during this period that, along with the overall transformation of society, there was also a change in the reproductive behavior of the population, known as the demographic revolution. The goal of the work was to assess the demographic behavior of this selected elite group as comprehensively as possible, based on a sample of data provided from the database of members of parliament in Czech countries. At the same time, the goal of the work was to find out, based on the analyses, whether the individual aspects of the then ongoing demographic revolution manifested themselves among senior civil servants. Senior civil servants were divided into two groups based on the date of their first marriage, and with the help of basic descriptive statistics and more advanced statistical methods, these groups were then compared to identify differences in demographic behavior. The result of the work was the finding that senior civil servants who had their first marriage in the second examined period were influenced by the demographic revolution taking place at that time from...

Social mobility of elites in the second half of the 19th century Abstract This thesis deals with the social mobility of senior civil servants in a very dynamic period in terms of the development of political administration in the lands of the Bohemian Crown, namely in the second half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. The aim of the thesis is to analyse and describe the change in the structure of civil servants according to their social origin, to statistically determine the significant factors that influenced the age of a civil servant when he or she first took up the post of district captain and to determine whether this age was prolonged during the period under study. The analysis was conducted using data from the EXPRO 2020 research database. The results show that officials with influential social backgrounds were almost twice as likely to become district governors at a younger age than officials from lower social class backgrounds. The main results of the paper are formulated in the conclusion, which in addition to the above, discusses what effect marrying a wife from an influential background had on an official's social mobility, or how long it took an official to climb the career ladder to become a district captain after successfully graduating from university, and what factors may...

Process and timing of cardiovascular revolution in selected European countries Abstract Structure of mortality according to age, sex and causes of death is changing over time. Several authors are trying to describe or generalize these changes and create theories or concepts about the changes in mortality structure. One of these concepts is cardiovascular revolution. This concept describes changes in mortality in Europe is the second half of 20th century. Nevertheless in some European countries these changes are still in progress. The concept of cardiovascular revolution concerns the decrease of cardiovascular disease mortality. Within cardiovascular diseases the highest mortality is caused by ischemic heart diseases. The prevalence of some chronic or degenerative diseases is not decreasing or is slightly increasing and overall mortality shifts to higher ages.

Klečková, Diana ; Velková, Alice (advisor) ; Fialová, Ludmila (referee)
Development of the family structures in the South Bohemia in the 19th century Abstract This work is a probe into the life of a historical family in southern Bohemia in the second half of the 19th century. During this period, the Czech lands underwent the most significant qualitative changes in the history of mankind. However, these changes associated with industrialization had a rather negative impact on South Bohemia and caused South Bohemia to become a poor agricultural area with a high rate of emigration. Using the methods of historical demography, the development of not only family structures, but also the structures of inhabitantsand households, which are very closely connected with the family, is analyzed on the example of the village Bernartice. Analyzes are performed over a period of forty years from the data of the first modern censuses, carried in years from 1869 to 1900. The population in Bernartice stagnated in the period under review and high migration from southern Bohemia did not significantly disrupt the structure of population, families, and households. However, more difficult living conditions probably resulted in an increase in the coexistence of families with relatives, a smaller number of family members, and a lower representation of servants. Keywords: historical demography, family,...

Matoušková, Tereza ; Himl, Pavel (advisor) ; Velková, Alice (referee)
Subject of the presented paper is press image of murderous mothers in Czech press of the 2nd half of the 19th century through early 20th century. Industrial revolution contributed to several changes in central European society, for example higher mobility of the population, including young unmarried women, who hereby became separated from their relatives. There is a fear of moral corruption in the society, a fear related to unrestricted sexuality and extramarital pregnancy, which could lead to the murder of the unwanted child. Contemporary press largely contributed to form a stereotypical image of murderous mothers. Press articles also served as moral stories, which could normatively influnce the readers.
